Beer beer beer beer...

I'm not a huge beer drinker, tho I will occasionally have (what my husband affectionately calls)Mexican Horse Piss, and the microbrewery where we used to live makes this amazing apricot brew that I loved. However, I do like to cook with it, making cheese dip and bread and other fine things.

What I want- is your favorite beer recipe.

Drunken Boar

Ingredients
Serving: Serves 6
1 5-pound boneless Boston pork butt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 celery, diced
2 medium onions, diced
8 garlic, minced
1 plum tomato, diced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
4 twelve-ounce dark beer, preferably Guinness stout
1 baking or Idaho potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 turnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 celeriac, peeled and diced
2 parsnips, peeled and diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 cup chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions
Heat oven to 250 degrees;. Rub pork butt with oil, and season liberally with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, place meat, fat side down. Brown each side for about 5 minutes.
Remove meat from pot, and pour off most of the remaining fat, reserving enough to sauté the celery, onions, and garlic until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add tomato, and deglaze the pot with balsamic vinegar. Pour in beer, and return meat to pot. Bring to a simmer over high heat, and cover. Transfer to oven for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, remove pot from oven, and skim off any excess fat. Add remaining vegetables, and cover. Return to oven for 45 to 60 minutes. When finished cooking, the meat and vegetables should be fork tender.
To serve, slice meat across the grain. Arrange meat slices on platter with vegetables, and sprinkle with parsley.

I drink the rest of the beer while the pig is cookin.

Brats and beer (of course).

Onion, green pepper, six pack of cheap beer, brats. Simmer brats in 1-2 cans of beer with onion, green pepper until brats are cooked. While simmering, drink one beer. Grill brats until browned to taste. While grilling, drink one beer. Return brats to beer sauce. Serve on buns with cooked peppers, onions and other condiments to taste. While serving drink one beer.

Eat brats. Drink one beer. Serve with Kraut and noodles, potato salad, jello salad, brownies, german chocolate cake, and other picnic/pot luck food items.

Finish by drinking any remaining beer.
